About the role

General Manager – Casual Dining

Exeter
Up to £60,000 + Benefits

I'm working with one of the UK's most exciting hospitality businesses who are looking for a General Manager to lead one of their high-performing restaurants.

This is a business that has built an incredibly loyal following and continues to grow at pace. They are looking for a leader who can create a brilliant culture, deliver consistently strong commercial results and inspire a team to perform at their best every day.

The Role

As General Manager, you'll have full responsibility for the performance of the restaurant, leading from the front and creating an environment where both your people and the business can thrive.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Leading, developing and inspiring a large management and restaurant team.
  • Driving sales, profitability and overall commercial performance.
  • Delivering exceptional guest experiences whilst never compromising on standards.
  • Creating a positive, high-energy culture where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.
  • Managing labour, costs and P&L performance.
  • Recruiting, coaching and developing future leaders.
  • Ensuring the restaurant operates safely, efficiently and to the highest operational standards.
  • Taking ownership of the business, constantly looking for opportunities to improve performance and guest experience.

About You

You'll already be operating as a General Manager within a fast-paced, high-volume hospitality business and be someone who genuinely loves leading people.

You'll be commercially minded, operationally strong and happiest on the restaurant floor, coaching your team and driving standards rather than sitting behind a desk.

We're looking for someone who is:

  • A natural leader who builds high-performing teams.
  • Commercially aware with a strong understanding of P&L management.
  • Passionate about hospitality and delivering memorable guest experiences.
  • Calm under pressure and able to thrive in a busy environment.
  • Hands-on, proactive and always looking for ways to improve.
  • Ambitious and excited by the opportunity to grow with an expanding business.
